The zoning districts are designed to assist in carrying out the intent and purpose of the Comprehensive Plan which is to protect the public health, safety, convenience, and general welfare.

 

      1.   District boundary lines as indicated on the zoning map follow lot lines, the center line of streets or alleys, the center lines of streets or alleys projected and the center of water courses or the corporate limit lines. If district boundary lines do not follow any of the above described lines, the district boundary lines are established as drawn on the zoning map. Where a district boundary line divides a lot of record in two or more districts, any portion of such lot within 50 feet on either side of such a dividing district boundary line may be used for any use of either use district; provided however, if any portion such lot shall extend beyond the 50 foot limitation, the district line as shown shall prevail.

      2.   Appeals from the Zoning Administrator's determination and questions concerning the exact district boundary lines shall be heard by the Planning Commission and a recommendation made to the City Council.

      3.   Whenever any street, alley or other public way is vacated by official action of the city, the zoning district abutting the center line of said alley or public way shall not be affected by such proceeding.
